Royals Earn Late Win
Kansas City left-hander Maddux Bruns helped his team edge Tampa Bay by the score of 3-2. Bruns kept the opposing lineup in check. The win belonged to Chris Andrews in relief. His record improves to 10-7. Jonathan Zelensky took the loss for Tampa Bay. Alex Alvarado notched his 2nd save of the season.

Kansas City won the game in part because of Chris Groff. The center fielder ripped a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Royals ahead, 2-1. For the game, Groff had 1 double and 1 home run in 2 at-bats.

"We squandered some opportunities," said Tampa Bay manager Tampa Manager.

The win makes Kansas City 69-82.
